We only accept PayPal, Secure Credit Card (PayPal Pro), Artix Upgrade Cards and postal mail upgrades in the forms of check or money orders. Some people have sent cash, but sending cash through the mail is not safe.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept payment for Guardianship by any other means. We cannot currently accept payment in the form of SMS. We cannot currently accept payment over the phone. We cannot currently accept payment by billing you. We can only accept the payment types listed on the Become a Guardian page.

We recommend that you use PayPal, as it is the fastest way to become a Guardian.

Note: If you choose to pay with a payment option where PayPal or PayByCash has to wait for the payment to clear, such as with an echeck, you will be upgraded only after the payment has cleared.

Note: We do not accept pre-paid Visa/MasterCard/Amex Gift Cards as payment. These cards do not have the proper security information printed on the cards in order to process online payments. Call the phone number on the back of your Gift Card for more information.
